Black and Blue Beach

Posted by ~~~Ann~~~ (Nelson, New Zealand) on 6 May 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

On the 5th of May we were treated to a perigee full moon. The perigee causes extreme tides, exposing a huge area of black sand bars at low tide. Over the next few days I'll be sharing series of images of Rabbit Island Beach viewed under these special conditions. I submitted this first image of the series to the aminus3 Life Happening theme.
